PTO and Title Fall Family Night was a huge success, with over 400 in attendance! It was great to see so many families enjoying an evening focused on agriculture, with crafts, literacy activities, and the popular Chillicothe FFA Petting Zoo.
Thank you to PTO President Mary Cady and our Chilli MO PTO for organizing the event, and to our early childhood professionals, Pathways to Teaching participants, middle school helpers, staff, and community volunteers for their support.
Our meal featured local food, thanks to Livingston County Cattlemen’s Association for providing and serving beef for walking tacos, Table Top Farms for lettuce, our fifth graders for salsa made with school garden tomatoes, Law Farms for popcorn, and the Missouri State Beekeepers Association for honey sticks.
Thank you to all the families, sponsors, and volunteers who made the night a success!
“Let Your Kind Shine”
Kindness is everywhere at CES! The three recipients of this week's awards were nominated by a teacher or staff member for showing exceptional kindness. They received a sunshine keepsake and the opportunity to sit in the yellow sunshine chair over the next week to promote kindness throughout CES!
Ivy Baker (Miss Wolf’s 1st Grade Class)
Ivy is a new student to CES, yet she lets her kind shine by sharing smiles and hugs with classmates and teachers. Ivy is helpful and quick to lend a hand when others need help. I appreciate her positive attitude and love for learning!
Everly Weeks (Mrs. Howe’s 3rd Grade class)
Everly is so sweet and polite. She is always kind to anyone and is willing to help whenever needed. She is part of the classroom cleanup crew and cleans up the classroom without any fuss. She does not mind cleaning up messes that are not hers. She is friends with everyone and never leaves anyone out. She is such a joy to have in class!
Ella Ledbetter (Mrs. Thompson’s 4th Grade class)
Ella is kind to everyone and is always willing to help in the classroom. She works hard, even when the work is challenging, and she approaches each day with a positive attitude. Ella is a wonderful example of kindness, perseverance, and a positive attitude.
Our October Terrific Kids are "Enthusiastic"

Big thanks to our local first responders!
CES students got a special visit today from local first responders who stopped by to talk about fire safety. The kids were engaged, asked great questions, and walked away with some really important reminders about what to do (and what not to do!) in an emergency.
This is a great example of what we’re working toward every day:
Student Success & Learning through real-life learning
Strong Culture & Communication by building strong school-community connections
Safety & Security by helping students feel prepared and informed
Staff Engagement as we work together with community partners to support kids
We’re grateful for their time and for everything they do for our community—thank you!
